Sign Jose. Find pitching, mostly relief. Basically we have a decent team in the field.

here we go with your forvite punch line. “spend just to spend” i think u need to read a little closer. not once have i said that or have the mets done that. bad contracts yes but what you are saying is just crazy.

No, you are about spending. You are implying that not grabbing a big ticket free agent every year is doing nothing.

If your team is already bogged down by bad contracts, how can you honestly justify to yourself or anyone just running out and getting more?

So, if they spend big to win a few more games in 2012, what about 2013? Just keep spending?

not spend, WIN, something your mindset is incapable of doing.

No, but you said top priority was winning next year.

Florida might have one good year, but that is going to turn into a circus.

And it’s not excuses. You and other people need to grow up and think a little deeper than “WAAAAAAAHHHHH! SPEND NOW!!!!!!”

“e this as it is, I will consider Alderson a failure if the Mets don’t end 2012 with at least a winning record; it’s got to be a top priority.”

No. top priority is to make the Mets a sustainable winner. When you prepare for the upcoming season starting the previous winter, you end up with the mess we are currently in.

Will, I’n not ignoring the facts at all, perhaps you are. Until Daniel Murphy (who was 7th in the league in hitting) got injured the Mets were at or above .500. As I mentioned in my post both Wright & Ike missed significant time. Get those two guys playing 150 games this past season, and things are very different.
Speaking of Omar’s studs, where is the great F-Mart?

I agree with you. Mr. Alderson has had his one year to get acclimated. He got his flexibility – $65 million dollars worth. He got a right fielder from the farm that looks like a budding star. The pitching is still in shambles but mostly because he did nothing to fix that last offseason. It’s time to start winning now. Get to work and start earning the millions we are paying the highest compensated front office in the NL.

Using Gregg’s post as my signing off for a while, at least till we’re in the thick of the Hot Stove season.

I will miss all of you, even those w/ whom I don’t really get on. Another tough Mets season with a bittersweet ending, and no real sense of what this team is going to look like in April 2012.

Still, without Metsmerized my experiences of being a Mets fan just wouldn’t be as rich and meaningful. I mean that. Hats off to all of the writers and members of our virtual community who pour out so much passion and analysis in supporting our Mets.

My one post-directed comment here is that I generally see eye-to-eye w/ Gregg: Collins did a really good job. He’s a little bit like a baseball Rex Ryan without the stars.

As for Alderson, I am feeling pretty restrained or neutral. Definitely an anti-Wilponian, I still expect Alderson to make things better in 2012. I also appreciate the irony that the Wilpons hired Alderson. Be this as it is, I will consider Alderson a failure if the Mets don’t end 2012 with at least a winning record; it’s got to be a top priority. The time is now, Mr. Alderson, to roll up your sleeves and work very hard on Mets “R & D.”

Five years of collapses and/or sub-.500 records must come to an end.

LET’S GO METS!!!

how did Terry make the Mets competitive? they finished below .500. i guess you just ignore the facts like most of the mmo writers, to say the mets were competitive is a complete joke unless you mean for last place.
